Team of Teams was supposed to be the main speed, but she scratched out of this spot in favor of a race on Sunday. Given her absence, MALIBU STACY (#1) is likely to inherit the pacesetter’s role, and I think that could make her awfully difficult to reel in.
The key to the late pick four at Lone Star on Sunday may be Kat's Infatuation, who has been away for nearly a year but makes her return in the Valor Farm Stakes, the third leg of the sequence. On the plus side, she has been working well, and trainer Bret Calhoun does well with horses coming off extended breaks. Race favorites Zippit E and Prada's Bling are both at their best on the front end, and if they end up in a duel, Kat's Infatuation could find herself ideally spotted behind that pair.

SPA TREATMENT (#3) intrigues me on the switch back to turf. Going back to last year, she had run her best races sprinting on grass and presented herself as a horse with a preference for this surface.

This race is tricky because all of the horses who finished behind Take Charge Aubrey last time are going to take some money, and I’m just not convinced that any of them are very good.
